摘要
Müler细胞是视网膜中的主要胶质细胞。除了一般的支持和营养作用外,近年的许多研究表明,在Müler细胞和视网膜神经元之间存在着双向的通讯,它们可以直接通过改变细胞外空间神经活性物质的浓度或间接(通过控制神经元的微环境)调制神经元的活动,因此在视网膜功能中起着重要的作用。
Müller cells are the principal neuroglia cells in the retina. Recently, a lot of evidence indicate that there exist twoway communications between Müller cells and retinal neurons. Müller cells may modulate neuronal activity in the retina either indirectly through modifying neuronal microenvironment or directly by controlling the concentration of neuroactive substances in extracellular space, in addition to their general supporting and nourishing roles. Müller cells thereby play an important role in retinal function.
